Our opinions were divided - citaro5284 preferred Brian's, but I preferred Stu's...!

(22 May 2015, 9:05 pm)aureolin wrote Is it a group thing to go with white destinations all around? Reason I ask is I noticed that Metrobus have used them on their new Enviros for the 273, as well as B&H's Coaster service.

Daughter has dyslexia and can read the white display but not the normal ones very easily. Much prefer the white.

Speaking of the NSA, the 700 ones are so loud was in one yesterday? And everyone commented that it was so loud. Also, who does the drifter NSA's?

I remember the last time i had it, it was a standard olympian engine which didn't sound right with me being used to having that loud (from inside), wonderful noise drowning the olympian engine out. I'm pleased to report that it has got its old noise back and still flies up banks like it used to. I loved riding it so much i don't know whether to stay with 3823 or go back to 3813!

(23 May 2015, 11:01 am)citaro5284 wrote  It will be 90 kph, which is roughly about 55 mph.

(23 May 2015, 11:05 am)Jimmi wrote Dread to think what 90mph would be like on a StreetLite.

I quite like the new StreetLite's although I haven't sampled a Red Kite example yet as B10BLE 4897 turned up instead on Monday.

(23 May 2015, 11:53 am)aureolin wrote Try the stretch between Chester and Stanley on the Limes. I was impressed with how well 5399 handled it yesterday, so I'm going to make a point of doing it all the way to Consett during the week. 

On another note. What should be the X70/X71 allocation on a Sunday or bank holiday? 

(23 May 2015, 11:55 am)Michael wrote The 2 spare Streetlites, i think.

I have the week off now, i may go out and about and do a review!  

(23 May 2015, 11:56 am)aureolin wrote If that's correct, then I think I'll be heading over Consett tomorrow or Monday. It'll be interesting to see how a Streetlite copes with the hills and bends on the scenic X70/X71 route.
